Sheet. and pil,ou ca.es.

All grades of linen, also cotton sheeting,
have pillow and bolster case materials to
match in quality. In making sheets, says
Tho Decorator aud Furnishcr, it is we'll to nj.
low little more than the regular two and
onc-lalf yards in length. Most Of the lest
add to this from onc-fourth TO
three-eighths of yard, this being often the
length after the hens are done. Two and
three-fourths yards for a finished sheet is gen.
orally sufficient, unless the bedstead is extra
size The linen should never be cut straight
across the piece. 1t is frequently the case
that tho crease is drawn altogether out OF
regular lines during the process OF ealenalering'
and putting up and to cut across the fold as
the dealer cuts 1t from tho pieca is often to
waste three or four inches in the straighten-
ing, which all judicious housewives will look
after. In tho purchase Of a single pair OF
sheets allowances must TO made for this irregu-
lerity, else tho finishel articles will DO too
short.
Pillow cases are plainly hen,n,ed or hem
stitched according to fancy The best a,i-
thoritis claim that pillow cases should DO OF
finer quality than sheets, and perfectly plain,
whatever characterization is desired being put
,,pon shams, which arc in quite general use.
There is good sense in this, as all embroidery
or oruamcntation may be very annoying TO
many people. whose slumbers arc disturbed
by very trihing discomforts. Fine linen.
with hem embroidery and all initial, is al
approved style. .... ......- ..
Care ought to he observed in the laundering
Of linen All articles should te taken from
tho line while yet damp, thoroughly shaken
and pulled straightway OF tho goods, rolled
up in damp cloths and ironed until perfectly
dry. Tie irons should he quite hot, but
carefully tempered, a. linen is more easily
scurclcd than cotton. and once Drowned its

engineers and Stokers.

The work in an Atlantic liner is diff
ficult, arduous and unrelenting. It de-
mands energy, presence Of mind and tech
nicsl skill of high order. The bare
enumeration of these qualifications is a
guarantee that in a British ship no special
preference will be given to foreigners
The engineers are mostly Scotch, the
stokers Irish. The qualities most re-
quired in the stokehole are logged
resolution to face discomfort and sturdy
frame. The stoker is begrimed with coal
dust. He has to endure an atmosphere
which sometimes rises to temperature
Of 100 degs. In this intense heat he has
to shovel every day five tons Of coal into
the furnaces, and to keep the fires clear
and bright by constant -raking and by the
periodical removal of ashes. Upon none
have the burdens of the mechanical de-
velopment of our age fallen more heavily
than upon the men who undertake the
duties Of firemen in an Atlantic liner 1t
has often been proposed to feed furnaces
mechanically. The method would OBJ.
viate the necessity of employing men in
one Of the most distressful FORMS of

AN 1NoECI EStlNe onChlbs
Although the increase Of trade collections
IA this country has been large, it has not leen
in proportion to the collections for pleasure.
First among the private collections Is that Of
Erastus Corning, at Albany, N. Y. Jay
Gould's collection at lexington, N. ", il
large one, numbering 600 plants and 2S7
varieties.
The expenditures made by collectors from
time to tiine for unique specimens OF orchids,
proves tho fascinating character Of this family
of plants. The late Mrs. Morgan undoubtedly
paid higher prices for orchids than any other
buyer in this or any other country. An ex-
ample of her prodigality. in this direction was
the sum of 5000 paid for n single plant Of
Wanda Sanderiana.
Attention has been attracted Of late to the
slipper orchid. one Of the insect eating plants.

Preservation of tho Dead.

Edward ], who died in 1907, was found
not dccayed 4G3 years subsequently. The
flesh on the face was little wasted, but
not putrid. The body of Canute, who died
in 1917. was found fresh in 1866 Those
Of William the Conqueror and his wife
were perfect in 1922. In 1919 three Roman
soldiers, in the dress of their country, fully
equipped with arms, were dug out Of q
peat mass near Aberdeen. They were
quite fresh and plump after lapse of
about ], 800 years
In 171i the bodies of Lady Kilsyth and
her infant were cnbalmcd. In 1876 they
were found as perfect as in the hour they
were embalmed. Every feature and limb
was full. The infants features were as
composed as if he had only been asleep for
eighty years. His color was as fresh and
his flesh as plump and full as in the per-
feet glow of health. The smile of infancy
and innocence was on his lips. At little
distance it was difficult to distinguish
whether Lady kilsyth was alive or dead.

How Gen. sherman Enjoys Life.

There have been floating around a num-
Der Of paragraphs about tho loneliness with
which Gen. w. 7. Sherman wanders about
New York The fact is that the general
is far from lonesome during his residence
here. He has an Office in the government
building, where he walks every morning
from the Fifth Avenue hotel by way of
exercise, and where he receives all his
mail and reads the papers, receives old
companions, smokes his morning cigar
and enjoys himself as thoroughly as il he
were still In active service and directing
the affairs Of skcletonized army. When
he goes up town In the afternoon he finds
himself besicged with callers. No man in
New York is in greater demand for din.
ners than he.
The general is evidently enjoying him

with his old cornrade, Gen. H.W. Slocum.

A New Grain Elevator.

An Illinois genius has succeeded in npply-
ing the principle Of the injector to a grain
elevator. Science gives the following de.
s,ription OF this new invention: The grain
is run from the car to a revolving hopper,
through on aperture in the bottom OF which,
is forced a powerful blast of air, which car.
ries the grain at certain distance up IA hori.

bends, or horizontal curves, forming relays
These relays act rs auxiliary hoppers, n frc$t
blast OF mir being admitted at each one, wbi l.
carries the grain to the next higher relay. ~
this way the grain may be raised to any t,>
sired height a modification Of this device
Is arranged to raise grain from the hole of
